You are just a few steps away from becoming a CFD-Wiki author. Everyone can help and we really need your help! The CFD-Wiki will never be better than the content we all fill it with. So don't hesitate, become a contributing CFD-Wikian today!

What can I do?

Here are a few ideas on things you could do:

Whenever you see something in the Wiki which can be improved or correct, do so!

Write an article on your favourite subject.

Proof-read and improve articles on subjects which you are familiar with

Write stubs. A stub is a short article which invites others to improve it.

Donate texts to the CFD-Wiki. If you have written internal reports etc. that are free from copyrights you can donate them to the CFD-Wiki. For information on how to do this see donate texts.

See if you can find a donated text which you can re-work into one or more full-featured Wiki articles.

Help improve the navigational features of the Wiki by making appropriate cross-links, category menus etc.

Categorise pages into appropriate categories and mark short unfinished articles as stubs.

Do a litteratury search for the most well-known benchmark and validation cases within your area of expertise. Then write to the original owners of the validation data and ask for their permission to upload their data to the Wiki and release it under a free GFDL license (see CFD-Wiki:Copyrights).
